Main Ingredients

Carrot-Daikon Pickle

Garlic Mayo

Method

Pickling the Vegetables

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

    In a bowl, combine the sliced carrot and daikon. In a separate bowl, whisk together white vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour the vinegar mixture over the vegetables, cover, and let them pickle in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Garlic Mayo Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Garlic Mayo

    Mince the garlic cloves and mix them into the mayonnaise in a bowl. Stir well to combine, then set aside.

Cooking Eggs

  1. 3

    Cook the Eggs

    In a pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.

Assembling the Banh Mi

  1. 4

    Prepare the Banh Mi

    Slice the baguette into 4 pieces and toast lightly. Spread garlic mayo on each slice. Layer the cooked eggs on top, followed by the pickled vegetables, sliced jalapeño, and fresh cilantro. Drizzle hoisin sauce and sriracha over the top.

Preparing the Side Salad

  1. 5

    Toss the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.
